Congrats guys! I know this was a long-time coming for a lot of you.
I'm so out of the loop...I'm just now seeing the clearcoat / green handled versions of the 9 and 2. The "problem" with Becker knives is that the ones I have are so good that even though I'm using them constantly, they're just as good as the day I bought them. There's no "need" to go buy another version at this point, though the clearcoat is what I always wanted to begin with.
